Maximum Flexibility
To give you maximum flexibility and ease of use when creating a security profile, you can start out with any of six default profiles, and either allow or lock out features based on that profile. For example, start out with the Guest profile, which does not allow any access, and then select the features you would like to allow access to. Or, start with the Administrator profile, which allows full access, and select which features to lock out.
Easy Setup
In order to make it easy to set up security for a large system, you may select a security profile as being a group profile, and then assign each actual user to that group. Once a user has been assigned to a group, you have the option of making additional individual adjustments to each user for complete flexibility.
